Consistency test includes both initial and final setting.
Standard consistency of a cement paste is defined as that consistency which will permit a vicat plunger having 10 mm dia and 50 mm length to penetrate to a depth of 33-35 mm from top of the mould.

Consistency is cement paste which allows the PLUNGER to penetrate 33- 35mm from top.
Initial setting time- Needle which penetrates completely.
Final setting time- annular COLLAR can able to make impression on the cement paste.

Standard Vicat Apparatus has a reversible stainless steel plunger and needle assembly for 300g total weight. It is used to determine consistency and initial/final set times of cements and mortar pastes.

Vicat apparatus is used for all three tests but difference is as below.
For consistency - Plunger.
For initial setting time- Needle.
For final setting time- angular collar.

Vicat's apparatus is used for the determination of the standard consistency of cement paste which is a prerequisite for the assessment of setting times according to Vicat.

Yes Vicat's apparatus is also used in setting time test. But consistence test done using of flunger and setting time test done using of needle.

@Bhimasi.
You are right Vicat test is testing consistence setting time, workability and flow. So B is the most correct answer.

Setting time test is also done with the help of vicat's apparatus so the answer should be both B and C isn't it?

Vicat apparatus is used for initial, final setting time and std consistency test so option B & C is correct.
